Red, White, and Blue: Five Watches for the Fourth of July

July Fourth is here, and we thought it was a good excuse to look through current inventory for watches that fly the flag — not in any heavy-handed way, just pieces where red, white, and blue show up together and actually mean something. Five watches made it. Here they are!Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Annual Calendar, Ref. 25920ST.OO.0789ST.01First up is a unique AP Royal Oak Annual Calendar. This reference is more interesting than it first looks. The blue dial is the obvious starting point, but the complications weave red and white together to create a beautiful display: a red pointer for the date, red alternating with blue on the white month indicator register, a red 31 marking the outer edge of the date track. White handles the rest of the indications: the indexes, the date and month functions, and the AP logo at 12. Red, white, and blue distributed across a functioning annual calendar to present something truly unique. The off-center display, with its lack of symmetry makes the watch a playful AP classic that flies under the radar.
